Another example of the liberal / leftist decrepid mentality.

If my neighbor throws his garbage in the street, that doesn't mean
I have an excuse to throw mine in the street.

No, but it should mean that you report him and expect the authorities to
take action against him, and society shouldn't treat you as the leper.

See how that works Cindy?

Is there an authority? Here's where argument by analogy breaks down.

Your granny said "waste not, want not". Now we say "reduce, reuse, recycle".

Use it up, wear it out.
Fix it up or do without.

I don't know anyone who actually said this but I still live by the first
3 parts.

We should just do the right thing because it's the right thing. If it
takes a sense of shame for people to do the right thing in this country,
so be it.

Yep.
